Stargirl's guide to life in the 70s

"Here is some money and tickets. If you find my parents, you can give them the money and tickets. Or, if conditions permit, you can help me buy them something they can use."

Zhang Tong felt a little embarrassed when he said this. After all, his parents were a huge trouble now. It was one thing for Yu Jiang to help out of kindness.

Asking Yu Jiang to help take care of things and pushing him into trouble is another matter entirely.

Yu Jiang naturally knew Zhang Tong's concerns, so he did not refuse the money Zhang Tong sent: "Don't worry, leave your parents' affairs to me. As for the money, whether you buy things or give it directly to them, I will definitely hand it over to your uncle and aunt for you."

From then on, Zhang Tong didn't say anything more and began to explain his parents' situation to Yu Jiang.

Finally, Zhang Tong wrote a letter and asked Yu Jiang to pass it to his parents.

Yu Jiang did not refuse, although she didn't understand. Since she could find the person, she could naturally call Zhang Tong.

Wouldn't it be more convenient to just talk over the phone if you have anything to say?

Why write a letter?

While Zhang Tong was writing a letter, He Zhile pulled Yu Jiang aside and continued chatting.

"Jiang Jiang, do you really want to give up your job here and go to the northwest?"

Yu Jiang nodded: "Well, Lu Beiyuan is now in the northwest, but the infrastructure there is not yet complete, so I just took two months to go home and play.

On the contrary, once we get there, the army will assign us work, and we won’t be able to sleep until noon!”

Yu Jiang even used a somewhat exaggerated tone, trying to make He Zhile believe that she would still live well there.

In fact, after hearing this, He Zhile was indeed convinced.

"That's right, you haven't had much time to spend together since you got married.

Now you are going to the northwest to join the army. Although the living conditions will not be as good as at home, their military salaries are not low, so they can definitely support you.

This way, not only can you spend every day together, but you can also have a job there, which is not bad."

Yu Jiang did not refute, but they spent every day together...

Oh, she and Lu Beiyuan are both busier than each other, and the time they spend together is probably only in the evening, not in the morning...

When Yu Jiang thought about the nights ahead, he suddenly felt sick.

Or maybe she should just work the night shift and go home to catch up on sleep during the day, which would be a good opportunity to avoid being with that bastard...

"Jiang Jiang, Jiang Jiang!"

Only then did Yu Jiang come back to his senses from He Zhile's voice.

"Did you listen to me?

I am really worried about Brother Tong's parents!"

Yu Jiang and Lu's mother have always gotten along well. In addition, when she first met her mother-in-law, she was still thinking of letting Lu Beiyuan get out if she felt a little uncomfortable. So when Yu Jiang first met Lu's father and mother, although she was a little nervous, she didn't feel any pressure at all.

Therefore, Yu Jiang could not understand He Zhile's complicated feelings.

"Do you think Brother Tong and I should go over there to see them?

What if they are not doing well?

What if they are not satisfied with me?

......"

Listening to the chattering from the other side, Yu Jiang felt numb.

Help when necessary and get through if possible, what else can you do?

Especially the fear that the in-laws would be dissatisfied with him. Yu Jiang simply couldn't understand it. What was there to be anxious about? The worst possible outcome would be divorce!

Fortunately, the last bit of sisterhood was still there, and Yu Jiang finally held back the words that were about to be said: "I heard my father say something about Zhang Tong's parents.

They were classmates and very good friends.

It’s a pity that after I graduated from university, my parents chose to return to their hometown, while Zhang Tong’s parents stayed in the university to teach. It was inconvenient to contact each other during those years, so we didn’t have much contact.

My dad said that Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang are very gentle and reasonable people.

I think even if you don’t tell them about your marriage, they won’t say anything.”

Although she said this, Yu Jiang still planned to pay more attention to the matter of Zhang Tong's parents. It could be regarded as her family's way of improving He Zhile's favor.

Soon Zhang Tong finished writing the letter and took out a small box of banknotes and gave it to Yu Jiang: "Sister, I'm sorry to bother you with my parents' affairs. Take these banknotes. If they are not enough, you must call me."

Yu Jiang did not hesitate and just accepted the money and letter from Zhang Tong. He also thought about what to give to Zhang Tong's parents when he found them.

After having dinner at He's house, Yu Jiang went home with his mother.

The two were talking and laughing on the road, when they suddenly saw a slightly familiar figure appear on a fork in the road not far away.

"Hey, isn't that my good uncle's daughter-in-law, Wang Ran?"

Mother Yu also saw the hurried figure on the other side and responded, "It's definitely her from the back, but why is she out strolling around so late at night?"

Yu Jiang was a little surprised to suddenly see an old acquaintance.

I always feel that Boss Yu and his family are far away from my life...

But it is true that since Yu Jiang started working at the research institute, he has been very busy every day and has not had much time to pay attention to things in the village.

Especially after getting married, he had even less free time, and his knowledge of the big and small things in the village only came from He He Zhile's gossip.

The incident involving Mr. Yu caused such a big fuss before, and now only a little over a year has passed, but it feels like it happened a long time ago.

In fact, not only Yu Jiang, but also Yu's mother was stunned when they suddenly saw Wang Ran from the Yu family.

As both are the sons of Grandpa Yu and Grandma Yu, especially since the two old people are still alive, it stands to reason that the families of Yu's father and Yu's eldest brother should have close contacts.

It’s just that Grandpa Yu and Grandma Yu’s family had separated from Boss Yu’s family a long time ago, and later severed all ties. Naturally, Mother Yu didn’t have to get along with Boss Yu’s family, whom she looked down upon so much.

Especially since Yu's mother followed Yu's father to live in the county town, the two families had no chance to contact each other.

"It's so late, shouldn't she be at home taking care of her son? Why did she run out by herself?"

Speaking of Mr. Yu’s precious grandson, Yu Jiang recalled the paternity test he had secretly done for them last time.

Oh, when can I share such a big secret with others?

She felt really uncomfortable keeping it in her heart!

Yu's mother didn't know what Yu Jiang was thinking, let alone what Wang Ran was going to do. However, she didn't intend to meddle in other people's affairs, so she could only deal with it: "What else can I do? He can't be out to use the toilet!"

However, after hearing this, Yu Jiang became even more curious.

So when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Yu Jiang sneaked out of the house again.

With the experience of the previous two times, Yu Jiang was familiar with the situation this time and directly slandered the Yu family.

Surprisingly, Mr. Yu, contrary to his usual behavior, kept the lights on for most of the day.

Moreover, there were faint sounds of quarreling and throwing things in the house.

Yo!

Is this old master Yu starting an internal conflict again?

This time, Yu Jiang only intended to watch the fun, so he did not confuse the people in the room. He just released his mental power and sat on the wall of Yu's house, watching the commotion in the house.

The affairs of Mr. Yu remain the same.

There is a boss named Yu in the family who turns a blind eye to anything that does not concern his own interests and turns a blind eye to family affairs.

The wife of Mr. Yu who favors boys over girls, dotes on her sons and grandsons, but regards her daughter-in-law as an enemy.

There is also Yu Baoer, who follows the same example as his father but becomes gloomy and extremely moody due to his physical defects.

There is also Wang Ran who is very stubborn and always makes trouble at home and outside...

Oh, right!

Finally, there is the precious grandson of the Yu family who has an extraordinary status in the family, is very much loved, and has shown signs of being a nuisance since he was young.

By the way, the last time Yu Jiang saw the child, he was still a little kid who was being held in someone's arms and couldn't even speak.

A year later, the child still couldn't speak, still needed to be carried when going in and out, and couldn't even walk.

But the head was much taller and bigger than that of an average child over one year old.

However, if you ignore the fat on his face and body, the child can be considered well-raised.

It's a pity that this child was born in the Yu family. He was raised wrongly since he was young. In the future...

If he continues to be raised by such a family, I'm afraid this child will have no future to speak of.
